Because it was a national holiday today the Imperial Palace was closed and we were forced to detour to one of the local shrines. El and I were pretty bummed about it, but made the best of it. We visited the Higashi-Honganji Temple, the largest wooden building in Kyoto. It would have been a more interesting visit but the whole exterior of the shrine was encapsulated in scaffolding as they were restoring it and to boot we weren't allowed to shoot photos inside. All in all this had to be the most disappointing part of Kyoto.
